Hi Scott,
There doesn't need to be only one 'leader'. If anyone feels they can
do something for the group, feel free to chime in. Often the best way
to get something done is to just do it. That's how a lot of online

It depends on the type of VPN. OpenVPN, PPTP and Cisco VPNs are quite
trivial to connect to, and IPSec should work too.
There are some weird ones though. Citrix has a VPN device that
requires a Windows client to connect to, despite the device being
based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
